If you're looking for an honest, highly skilled mechanic, S & M Automotive is outstanding and checks so many boxes! I come down from Ventura to see "Shady", and his name couldn't be more ironic, because there's nothing shady about him or his work. He's been maintaining my 2005 Lexus SC430 and has saved me a boatload of money on repairs and maintenance over the years. He's respectful, friendly, and clearly takes pride in getting things right. My most recent service made the car run like it did when it was new. The engine is humming smoothly again, something I've honestly NEVER experienced after a repair or routine maintenance anywhere else and I've owned this car since 2007. And while the name S & M Automotive might make some people do a double take (hahaha), the only thing painful here is realizing how unnecessary other repair bills can be once you find a mechanic this good and dependable. If you want honest, skilled automotive service, S & M Automotive is absolutely trustworthy and dependable.

Despite that, the folks at S&M took the time to do a quick assessment of my car and advise me what the likely problems were. That really helped me assess my options.

Small shop, family oriented he will probably let you know if he can or if he can't work on whatever your problem is but I think these guys are great.

I was gonna pay the bigger amount but it took them less time than they anticipated, so .. they charged me less. They've got integrity. When I had a front headlight out, I came in with the special lights I needed and they jumped me to the front of the line so that I'd be safe driving to a work event that night. They care about customer's safety and that of our kids. They always do a full look over when I come in, even if I'm just getting an oil change so I know if my brakes or anything need a refresh. Costs are always super reasonable. They help me plan ahead for repairs. They're always warm and friendly. Sometimes they are a bit jammed with customers, so I have had times when I had to leave the car and wait a few days for a big repair, but what do you expect when you find a great, local mechanic with reasonable costs, who does great work and is kind and warm to boot? Big fan here.

After receiving honest service for my wife's lexus, I took my 2013 Prius to APS for an issue with the struts. After inspection, they concluded the front & back struts needed replacement ($1152 job). Because my Prius is old AF, it's not worth replacing the struts. APS didn't charge me anything for the inspection, even tho I opted out of their recommended repairs. Again, this spoke to their honesty. I highly recommend them.
